5.3. WEATHER STATION FUNCTION
The Escape203 can be used as either a Weather Station (barometer function) or
Altimeter.
To choose between locking functions, in the main [BARO] mode, PRESS the Center
button twice to toggle between icons. A beep sound is heard as you toggle between
the two.

The overlapping sun and cloud icon shown above the BARO and MEM
texts indicates the device is in the weather station function.
The two-mountain icon shown above the ALTI and LOG texts indicates
the device is in the Altimeter function.

When you have defined the unit to be a weather station, it interprets all pressure
changes as weather and the measured changes will therefore only affect the
pressure reading in the Barometer mode. These changes will not affect the altitude
reading.
When the Altimeter function is activated, all pressure changes are interpreted as
altitude changes. When the Altimeter function is activated, the sea level pressure
reading displayed will not change, although the absolute pressure reading will.
The unit is set initially at the factory in altimeter mode. You can change this setting at
any time as described above.
